About

It may feel good to be pretty, but the problem with being beautiful is that there are thousands of people who look like you. Ugliness, however, is unique.

-------------------

One girl, a walking-talking example of contradictions -- ambitious but naive, kind but blunt, social but awkward -- is living in perhaps the most competitive society in this world.

She has a dream, a fairly conventional and acceptable dream, one which every parent would approve of. Unfortunately, millions of others share this dream, and in order to fulfill hers, she has to eliminate her competition, literally.

Throw in a fair share of drama. Friends and family, crushes and exes, decisions and choices, and the life story of an Indian teenager would be complete.

----------------------

The last few years of school are the most memorable; grades, stress and career mixed with friends, fun and dreams. But most of the time when we are planning our awesome candid picture-perfect life, we end up crossing the 'i's and dotting the 't's.

Opinion

This is a MUST READ for everyone Indian and also those looking for something lighthearted, relatable and funny. Being Indian myself, there were so many instances when I could put my feet in the main character's shoes-from overprotective parents, the close knit group of friends to the overbearing education system-and I loved that. In spite (or because) of the simplicity of the plot, it managed to grip me. All the characters have a story to tell and the romance was adorable, especially because it was a slow burn and wasn't all about confessing each others undying love. Ash is practical, dedicated to her goal and kind but a little judgmental and her character arc is amazing. The writing is, again, simple but draws you in and there are paragraphs which are simply (pun intended) beautiful. This book also had me laughing uncontrollably at some of the awkward situations Ash finds herself in. It's one of those few which haven't destroyed my faith in teen fiction so go read it!
